You too can blog like North Korea

The tension on the Korean Peninsula is no laughing matter but the official North Korean response to the U.S.-South Korea military exercises was an entertaining example of Cold War Era propaganda. Take a look:

“The situation on the Korean peninsula is inching closer to the brink of war due to the reckless plan of those trigger-happy elements to stage again the war exercises targeted against [North Korea] in wake of the grave military provocation they perpetrated against the territorial waters of [the North Korean] side in the West Sea. The army and people of [North Korea] are now greatly enraged at the provocation of the puppet group, while getting fully ready to give a shower of dreadful fire and blow up the bulwark of the enemies if they dare to encroach again upon [North Korea's] dignity and sovereignty even in the least. The group should not run amuck, clearly understanding the will and mettle of the highly alerted army and people of [North Korea] to wipe out the enemies.”

In a world of social media nicey-nice, wouldn’t it be a lot more interesting if we all blogged like North Korea? It might go something like this …

From MySpace:

“The imperialist force of Facebook has greatly enraged the united citizens of MySpace. We will not be bowed by these Zuckerberg puppets. Prepare to run amuck when you see our wrathful might. Or, call us.”

From the music industry:

“We are greatly enraged by the reckless bullying of our profit margin by the iTunes enemy. If they dare encroach on our sovereign territorial waters in the least, the capitalist swine will be sliced into ribbons by our dreadful noodle-maker.”

From Adobe

“The trigger-happy Steve Jobs has denied our Flash animation product and has tested the will and mettle of the highly alerted people of Adobe. We will pierce the heart of his iPad with a showers of grave provocations from our PR department.”

From Justin Bieber

I am more adorable and talented than the reckless pretender Taylor Swift. I am greatly enraged and my hair is dismantled by her provocations. Should she encroach another awards show, I will have Usher crush her bulwark.”

See, wouldn’t the social web be MUCH more interesting if we blogged like North Koreans?
